You do realize that a single clip from a PRO swarm will down just about every Incubus build if the pilot doesn't immediately run away, right?
Why don't you just come clean. You want a weapon that when you pull the trigger, it just explodes whatever it is you're looking at. I'm pretty sure that's where you're trying to go.
I fly ADS too. And I support a swarm speed buff.
I hear swarms going off? I hit my AB immediately. They are lucky if they can launch a third volley by the time I'm out of their lock range (if I'm right next to them to begin with). I'm not like that Judge Fool in his videos trying to finish off someone and ignoring one, two swarms that hits him before he finally decides to do something. And I recently switched to and began enjoying having a light shield booster on my Python, so I can activate it between the swarms and get some shield regen going before the next volley hits. It's actually way better in terms of EHP... I only needed to change a 380-some shield HP extender for a 950 shield HP booster plus a shield regen kickstart.
Seriously, ever try taking on an ADS with swarms? The slow speed of swarms and the afterburner is rather quite the get-out-of-jail-free card for ADS. There's nothing like having three swarm volleys connect with an ADS, only for their slow judgement to catch up and realize that they need to get out of there and hit their AB and evade my next set of volleys after I reload.
Oh, and before I forget, need I remind you that ADS hulls are getting another price cut?

Swarms go over hills, around buildings, and through boulders/terrain. Its true, there are dozens of videos out there, go educate yourselves. I have a predetermined list on every map of terrain that swarms can pass straight through to kill my vehicles, yet i cannot shoot back through
Would you happen to have a link to a video of Swarms going through and over terrain? Because in my experience (from both sides), I can pretty much guarantee that SLs don't travel through walls, or over terrain.
I do know for fact that there is a large boulder (southwest quadrant of G4) on Fracture Road where you could hide an entire HAV behind it, except that swarms will go straight through it. I've had it happen on several occasions. First time I didn't know about it and ended up losing my Gunnlogi as it was low on health and it was the nearest place I could hide (except swarms went straight through it and killed me). The next few times I no longer stopped there but definitely had the swarms pass straight through it.
